No, it was AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #37. The last two pages had someone using a rifle from outside to try to shoot Mendel Stromm. Spider-Man jumped up to the window, but saw nobody, and didn't understand how someone could get up to the window and vanish in a few seconds. While Stromm doesn't get shot, he doesn't *seem* to be dead from a heart attack. (He shows up shortly after the end of the Clone Saga, and has appeared in AVENGERS INITIATIVE.)

The next page has Norman with the shot gun, but it did not say how he was able to get to and from the window so fast. And then at the end of ASM #39, we find out he's the Green Goblin.

Let me be clear: Steve Ditko may have been Spiderman's first artist, but I will always see Spiderman and his cast as being John Romita Sr.'s work. He and Ross Andru DEFINED Spiderman to me and I always compare every artist since that time against them.

...usually unfavorably. One thing more modern artists often seem to have lost is the ability to tell a story. I don't need the dialogue here to understand the flow of action and the general idea; the words flesh out the visuals.
